I see some of you are using PROXMOX and a couple of you were looking into migrating away from PROXMOX. 

I just picked up a used Dell R730xd with 14 of 24 1.2TB drives. RAID60. 128GB RAM.

I have older Dell servers : 1 running my old vmWARE for my BBS, and another running a licensed Server 2012R2 instance. Server will cost way too much to modernize, and vmWARE is no longer 'freeware' and my licensing no longer allows me to upgrade since the software was sold years ago.

I am looking at PROXMOX and was wondering how others like it. I tried TrueNAS, but for some reason the VMs wouldn't work.

Thoughts?
